Lisa Douglas

Lisa Douglas (née Gronyitz) was the leading female character in the 1960s CBS situation comedy Green Acres, which ran for six years, from 1965 to 1971.

[3] Lisa (portrayed by actress Eva Gabor), a glamorous Hungarian immigrant, plays the role of the wife of Oliver Wendell Douglas, a successful New York City attorney who had long harbored the dream of moving to the Midwest and operating a farm.

[3][7][8] In the initial episodes, Lisa plays a Manhattan socialite who has no desire to leave the luxuries of her lifestyle in New York,[4] but is forced to do so and move to rural Hooterville, when her husband, whom she loves considerably, decides to undertake farming.

[5][9] After shifting to Hooterville, she becomes close to many farm animals, especially to the neighboring family's pet piglet Arnold,[10] and takes up various cooking activities.

[11][5] Yet, despite her attempts, Lisa is unable to fit into the Hooterville culture, wishing relentlessly to go back, while her husband sticks resolutely to his philanthropic values of remaining embedded to the rural heartland.
